[Fiessinger-Leroy-Reiter disease seen in a rheumatology unit. Apropos of 71 cases].

71 cases of Reiter's disease have been observed since 1972. After a study of the clinical characteristics of these cases, we report the results of 3 laboratory examinations which, grouped together, facilitate the diagnosis of the complete forms, but, above all, of the incomplete and synovial forms. The search for chlamydia cell inclusions was positive in 80% of cases where carried out.

[Multifocal tuberculous osteoarthritis and synovitis. 10 cases].

Synovial or osteo-articular tuberculosis is multifocal in about 10 percent of cases. Here, this form strikes older people and quite frequently the patients receive corticotherapy because of confusion with rheumatism. This premature treatment delays the diagnosis and at the same time favors the spreading of the germ.
